The right lever for warm-up: hammering a cautious receiver a hundred times is precisely the behaviour warm-up exists to avoid, and lowering it per message is cleaner than lowering it for the whole node. Exhaustion has a result of its own, seen on the stand: the delivery failure is logged first, and then a second record with state process, result invalid, status 5.4.7, "Message attempts exhausted before delivery". A reader that counts failures per message will count that message twice unless it treats 5.4.7 as the closing record rather than a new failure.
